Despite his threatening sounding name, the Gyū-Maō is really quite harmless and fun loving. He was somewhat vexed when his castle became engulfed in flames on Mount Frypan and wreaked havoc through the village at the foot of the mountain. He is Chi-Chi's father and thus Son Gokū's father-in-law. He is very strong and trained along-side Grandpa Gohan under Muten Rōshi's tutillage. As the series goes he becomes less and less of an important character and eventually fades into being a background character. He is the Grandfather of Son Gohan and Son Goten. In the anime, he has a few large roles though from time to time, mainly involving keeping his daughter out of trouble. Chi-Chi is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball series. ...

Background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Living on Fry-Pan Mountain, the Gyū-Maō would either scare or eat anything that came along, due to the fact that his castle was stuck up on the mountain in eternal flames. Bulma, Gokū and Oolong stumble upon Gyū-Maō and Chi-Chi on their quest for the Dragon Balls. They agree to help him, and Gokū brings back Muten Rōshi, the only one strong enough to break the barrier. Muten Rōshi fires a large Kamehameha at the wall of fire, and destroys it. However, the Kamehameha is so big that it takes the entire mountain with it. After Muten Rōshi blew the mountain and castle away, the Gyū-Maō promised to not hurt anyone again. Although his castle is gone, Gyū-Maō and Chi-Chi shrug it off and vow to build a new one. After Gokū finds Chi-Chi, who had been missing, and returns her to her father, Gyū-Maō offers her to Goku as a wife in gratitude of her safe return. Not knowing what a wife is, Gokū agrees. As anime filler, many years later, Chi-Chi is 18 and Gyū-Maō wants to make sure that she will get a good husband who can take care of her, so he makes a fighting contest with Chi-Chi as the prize. Gokū loses the contest on purpose, but Chi-Chi beats up his opponent so that he still wins the prize — Chi-Chi. After losing his mansion and treasure on Frypan Mountain, he gives up being a warrior; and, although he is still huge, is more visibly friendly. In Dragon Ball Z, he appears in the anime more frequently throughout the sagas, usually seen at home trying to calm Chi-Chi down. Bulma (Romaji: Buruma, full name commonly accepted as Bulma Briefs) is a fictional Human who is the Dragon Ball series longest appearing female character. ...

After Chi-Chi marries, the Gyū-Maō begins visiting very often, giving the impression that he is never at his own home! While normally spoiling the children rotten he also taught Gohan and Goten various school studies, while also protecting Chi-Chi. In the end of the DBZ series, he is appears at the tournament cheering his great-granddaughter, Pan on.


In Dragon Ball GT, the Gyū-Maō no longer appears to visit the Son Family as regularly as he did before, or maintain his role of calming Chi-Chi down, which is now done mostly by Videl. He only makes cameo appearences in episodes 31, "Collapse From Within" and 40, "Piccolo's Decision".

Trivia

  • Though Gyū-Maō's age is never revealed, it can be assume that he's in his early sixties by the time the Buu saga arrives. His hair is naturally black up until the end of DBZ where it finally starts to gray. By the time GT begins, he is well over 80 years old and still living shown by his minor appearances in some episodes.
  • From the 4th GT ending credits, Gyū-Maō appears to be the tallest character; even taller than Piccolo and Majin Buu.
  • It should be noted that the Gyū-Maō becomes one of the most developing minor characters in appearance. When he first appears, he is drawn more babaric and menacing, and wields an axe. By the end of Dragonball and beginning of Dragonball Z, he dresses in normal attire and wears glasses instead of goggles. His facial hair is more detailed. In the Future Trunks time line, he appears the same except now sporting gray hair and a new outfit. In the Buu Saga, he appears to be much bigger, his facial hair grows out more, and the hair in the back of his head extends out a little over his shoulders. There are also slight alterations to his clothes. At the end of DBZ his hair is gray and he wears formal clothes with an orange tie. In his very first appearance in GT, his tie is purple, and in his next appearance, it's yellow. Overall, Gyū-Maō's character design changes more than any of the other minor characters, (such as Pu'er, Oolong, Yajirobe, Dr. Briefs, Bulma's Mother, etc.)

Important Notes

  • In a Japanese episode of the Jinzō'ningen Saga, Gyū-Maō seems to call Uranai Baba his mother. In Dragon Ball, Uranai Baba displays a motherly panic during the flaming castle event after believing he's been killed. If this is true, then the old fortune-teller is Chi-Chi's grandmother, Son Gohan and Son Goten's great grandmother, and Pan's great-great grandmother. However, it is very likely that he was using a respectful Japanese term for an elder woman which can be construed as "Mother" or "Grandmother". Though, this may be why Baba has been helping Goku alot through the Buu era. And it may also explain the Son Family's long age expectancy, for example, Gyū-Maō remains alive throughout GT while Bulma's parents don't, and Pan is still alive at the end of GT being over 100 years old.
